We move on through the heartbreak
We trudge on through the dark
In our hands we carry
Our hopes broken apart

But time don't stop movin
No time keeps its pace
So forward we're marching
Though tears touch our face.

There's no way to win
But plenty to lose.
There's no body unbroken
In this path we choose.

So why keep on goin?
Why lift up our chins?
The punches keep coming
For all of our sins.

I'll tell you why
It's this thing that I know
That no matter what
You've gotta go with the flow.

Take what life gives you
But make your own choice.
And when others abuse you
Just raise up your voice.

There's no way to win
At this game we all play
It's life and its hard
Every night and all day

You can't win when you're fightin
Against all other souls
You can't win when you're hating
When you won't let shit go.

It's life and it's calling
For you to forget all your pains
Just pick up your feet
And move on towards your fate.

There's lots left to lose
But you know what to do?
Keep trudgin on
Cause it's your path to choose.

The style of emotion in this one is a far cry from my usual. But I got the groove going while I wrote this one. The words just poured out, and I looked at it, and said "huh".

Cause usually I fix up the wording to make it more eloquent, but the emotion for this piece said that 'here's an ordinary person'. So I had to leave it, and I personally like it. This piece is personal.

I like it too! It really flows and it's so real.

Sealiah

thanks Inspir!

Like I said, this one kinda caught me off guard. LOL. It just doesn't sound much like my writing, but I definitely felt my heart and soul go into this one.

Hey, you gotta go with it when it comes... I've let too many get away from me. My husband says he needs to get me a microphone for the late nights when inspirations just flows through me, and I'm too tired to write it out.

the finished product is usually very good at least for me,

theres a little saying the best poetry is the easiest expressed

Good writing here Erik:

Sometime we must all go with the flow when we write. The words come out so fast that's it's hard to keep up with what's spilling from our thoughts.

Your personal feelings flowed outward and were very hearfelt. Keep up the good work. I always look forward in reading your poetry.
Thanks for sharing


Blessings

I like it too Sealiah - it's cool - flows like music.

"You can't win when you're fightin
Against all other souls
You can't win when you're hating
When you won't let shit go."

That's why I love everyone, even if they're bad or good. I just try to understand them because love cannot be defeated, although it suffers greatly in its grace. I’m sure the lessons are worth whatever indignity follows.

Well thank you guys. I can't take credit for a lot of my work, even though I wrote it. Because usually what happens is I am sitting at my desk, just doing work...

BAM - inspiration

Write it down, quick before I forget, and voila. Poetry.
